Sunder T Vachani, chairman of ESC said that the seminar would focus on opportunities available to Indian information technology entrepreneurs in the areas of back office operations, medical transcription, cell centres, database service, content development, GSI packages etc.

The market size of these services is estimated to be over $800 billion.

As per the survey done by ESC, the market potential of IT enabled services worldwide is double the size of the software and service market that was estimated at $400 billion in 1998.

Vachani said ''The availability of internationally competitive telecommunications infrastructure in India can assist the information technology enabled services sector to emerge as the fastest growing foreign exchange earner within the next two to three years.''
